Pig Cake recipe and guide
Bake
Two domes and a small cylinder from four packet mixes.
Build
The two domes make a big round head and the cylinder becomes the snout. The guide shows you how they go together.
Decorate
Ice it pink, add the eyes and ears, then a marshmallow cheek, Smartie nostrils and a lolly smile.
Decorating your Pig Cake
Pretty in pink
A tiny drop of pink colouring goes a long way. Add it slowly for a soft piggy pink rather than hot pink.
Farmyard board
Green coconut grass and a few toy farm animals turn the board into a farmyard.
Smaller pig
Bake one dome and a small cylinder instead, and position the decorations using the smaller image in the guide.
This one's up to you. Colour your buttercream however you like.

Pig Cake FAQs
Can I make a smaller pig?
Yes. Bake one dome and a small cylinder instead of two domes. The set suits both sizes, and the smaller pig serves about 24.
How many does the large pig serve?
About 48 serves from four packet mixes (based on 12 serves per packet mix, depending on how generous your slices are).
How do I get the right pink?
Add pink colouring a tiny drop at a time and mix well before adding more.
What makes the snout?
The small cylinder cake, with two red Smarties for nostrils.
Is everything edible?
The eyes and ears are edible paper. The ears keep their plastic backing for support, so remove it and the toothpicks before eating, along with the skewers.
